Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 4, December 2026.ABSTRACT Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is one of the most important grain legumes and provides a major source of protein, vitamins and minerals worldwide. Despite decades of traditional breeding delivering significant genetic gains in disease resistance and adaptation, seed yield improvement has advanced only incrementally, constrained by the highly ...

Drone‐based phenotyping of maize for multiple disease resistance and yield in breeding field trials
The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.Abstract Improving selection for multiple disease resistance (MDR) and yield in maize (Zea mays L.) requires high‐throughput, objective phenotyping tools, particularly under field conditions where several foliar diseases co‐occur. We evaluated drone‐based multispectral vegetation indices (VIs) for predicting resistance to northern leaf blight (NLB ...

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.Abstract Plant biomass measurements are critical for crop improvement and breeding programs. Such measurements rely on destructive and labor‐intensive methods that limit continuous measurements of biomass over plant growth stages and time. This study aimed to develop an inexpensive, nondestructive method for estimating aboveground biomass in rice ...

Time course sensor‐based phenotyping can predict Ascochyta blight disease severity in Cicer species
The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.Abstract Ascochyta blight is a widely occurring chickpea fungal disease that can cause severe yield loss. Breeding for crop resistance benefits from high‐throughput evaluation of plant–pathogen interactions in genotypes which can serve as sources of resistance.

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 4, December 2026.Abstract Scald, caused by the fungus Rhynchosporium graminicola Heinsen 1897, is a major foliar disease in winter malting barley (Hordeum vulgare L). Resistance to scald in winter malting barley is controlled by major and minor resistance genes. We used a population of 377 lines derived from biparental crosses among five winter malting barley parents ...

Genome‐wide prediction of cloned disease resistance homologues across the Oryza genus
The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 4, December 2026.Abstract The wild relatives of rice (Oryza sativa L.) represent reservoirs of genetic diversity and potential sources of novel pest and disease resistance. The recent availability of high‐quality Oryza genome assemblies has enabled greater exploration of this diversity across the genus.
